Feedback on DerbySnapshotOrRelease wiki page

Thanks Andrew for posting the release information to:
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/DerbySnapshotOrRelease

I took a brief look and have these initial comments.

For the release, I think it would be good to include some information on
bumping the version such as
     - bumping the third digit before creating  the first  bugfix
release candidate.
     - bumping the third digit to remove the alpha flag.
     - bumping the version after release candidates are made.
      - turning off the beta flag.

Should there be information on creating a release branch for major releases?

You had mentioned some  fixes that needed to be merged to 10.1 for the
snapshot target to work properly.

I think these fixes are probably needed for the the snapshot target to
work properly.

That's all for now. 

Thanks

Yes. What is currently there is aimed at a bugfix release, but I'll  
update the page to include information for a feature release.
